Late Mr L. B. Blake, Whitland.
Late Mr L. B. Blake, Whitland. APPRECIATION BY TENANTS. The mortal remains of Mr Luttrell Bruce Blalke, J.P., of Pwllywheadi Whitland, who died at a Dublin Nursing Home on the 2nd inst., as recorded in our issue of last week, were laid to rest at St. Mary's R.C. Church- yard, Carmarthen, on Wednesday the 5th inst. The ibody was brought over from Ire- lafnd on Tuesday eening, and was met at Car- marthen on Wedtnesday morning by several of the deceased gentlemen's friends and a large number of tenants of the Pwllywheaid and Yelverton Estates. At the' Church and graiveside the Rev Father Nicholas, C.P., officiated. The hymns "Lead, kindly light" and "Bydd myrdd o rhyfeddodau" were feelingly sung. Miss Cooke, L.R.A.M., who presided at the organ, played1 "0 rest in the Lord" and the "Dead March" (Saul). The chief mourners were: Master Walter Blake (son), Majr Cecil Blake, Rutland Sq., Dublin (brother); Miss H. M. Yelverton ,of Whitland Abbey; and Mr Rees Davies, of Springfxelds (agent). Among those present were Major Protheroe Eeynon, Trewern; Mr Spotwood Graves, Tcnby; Dr W. G. Owen, Whitland; Mr and Mrs W. Lewes Philipps, Clyngwynne; and Mr J. E. Jones. manager of the London Joint City and Midland Bank, Carmarthen. Fioral tributes were sent by the following: "With deepest sympathy and ioing memory from Walter to dear Daddy" "Lasting love from Cecil and Effie" "With deepest sym- pathy from Cousin Florence and George" "With love and sympathy from Aunt May and Aunt Lizzie" "With deepest sympathy from Miss Yelverton" "With deepest sym- pathy from Mr Rees Darvies and family. Springfi-elds"; "In loving memory from Mr and Mrs W. B. Van Homrigh, Langland" "With deepest sympathy from the tenants of the Pwllywheadi Estate" "In affectionate re- membrance and with deepest sympathy from Mr and Mrs Lewis Philipps, Clyngwynne" "With deepest sympathy from Major Pro- theroe-Reynon, Trewern"; "With deepest sympathy from Mr and Mrs C. H. Morgan Griffiths, Lime Grove. The funeral arrange- ments at Carmarthen were supervised by Mr Rees Davies (agent). M rT D. Davids (the deputy agent) was un.avoida)bly prevented from being present., The tenants who attended the funeral sat down to lunch at the Bioar's Hed'Hotel, Oalr- marthen. Mr T. L. Phillips, D.C., The Elms, Whit- land, who presided, moved! a vote of condol- ence with Master Walter Blake, Major Blake (deceased's broLlier), and a.1so with the late Mr Blake's sister. In doing so he re- marked that they mourned the loss they had sustained in the death of Mr Li. B. Blake. The late Mr Blake loved his tenants and his tenants loved him. The deceased gentleman was very fond, of his hoine in Whitland. The gathering deeply sympathised with the family, especially with Master Walter Blake, who had suffered an irreparable loss. Mr William Thomas, G.C., in seconding, said that he did not think there was any little estate in Wales where everything worked so harmoniously as on the Pwllyw'head and the Yeliverton Estates. He had very happy re- cot iections of the late Mr L. B. Blalke coming to Whitland 25 years ago. To have been in his company meant that you were bound to love him. Mr Blake was not a man who sought to be in the limelight. Had he tried he could have beeen a shining light in the county of Carmarthen. He was a well-read man and a ready wit. Had he 31pplied him- self to work on the Councils of Carmarthen- shire he would have been a great asset to the county, But he cared not for the plat- form, and, being of a quiet disposition, he worked unostentatiously for the common weal He did good quietly, and his death at such an early age was deplored by all who had wld the pleasure and privilege of knowing mini. Of the late Mrs Blake it could be said she was one of the finest ladies one cCuld have met. Master Walter Blake had lost a kind I and loving mother, and that day he had seen the last of an affectionate father. He would, the speaker felt sure, be well -red for by his generous rlatives and friends. Mr P. W. Watkins. D.C., associating him- self with the vote, remarked that he had always found Mr Blake a perfect gentleman in every sense of the word. He had lived near the deceased gentffman for the paist eight years, and would miss Mr Blake's familiar figure coming down the road. Mr Blake was a gentleman who would never re- fuse to do anyone a favour, and the district of Whitland would be the poorer by his death. Mr Watkins hoped Master Wa.lter Blake would emulate the example of his late father andl mother. Major Protheroe-Beynon, Trewern, afeo associated1 hiself with the vote of condolence, stating that Mr Blake was one of the most straightforward men he had ever met.. It there was anything he could do for Master Walter Blake to hel phim forward in life he would be most pleased to do so. Mr Spotwoodi Graves, Tenby, speaking as an old friend of the deceaised gentleman. added his tribute as also did Dr W. G. Owen, Whitland, who said in the death of Mr Blake he had lost a true and faithful friend. Mr Blake had been an ideal landlord, and the tenants would feel hisloss very much. Mr Roberts, Whitland, also spoke, and the vote was carried in silence, all present stand- ing. Aid. L. D. Thomas, Carmarthen, referred to the less the old and honoured agent, Mr Rees Davies, had sustained by Mr Blake's death. They had all found Mr Davies very straightforward and conscientious in his duties. He congratulated Mr Davies pn the cordial relations which existed between the agent and the late Mr Blake and Miss Yel- Verton. Mr D. Rees, Abergwili, supported, and Mr Rees Davies, in responding, said he first met the late Mr Blake twenty-two years ago at Carmarthen Railway Station on the occasion of the marriage of his uncle (the late. Mr Chas. Blake). Ever since then the speaker had had many opportunities of knowing Mr Blake, who had beeen most honourable in all his transactions. Mr Blake was a, great sportsman, and carried his sportsman-hike qualities into his overy-dgy life. If there was ,iny dispute between landlord and tenant Mr Blake always settled it in an honourable manner. They mourned his loss very much. He thanked the tenants for coming in such large numbers to pay their last tribute of respect to one whom they deeply revered. The vote of condlolelløe with Master Walter Blake would be entered on the estate book. He thankedl them for having mentioned the name of Miss Yeliverton, who., though old in years was young in spirit. He had been the agent on the Abbey Estate for the lasty 42 years, and excellent relations had existed throughout between aself and Miss Yelver- ton, who was kindness personified.

. Minister's Minimum.
Minister's Minimum. CALVlNISTIC METHODISTS IN SOUTH WALES. The principal layment of the Calvin istu- Methodist Connexion in South Wales held an important conferenee at Salem Chapel, Aber- ystwyth, on Tuesday, to discuss the question of the stipends of ministers. The chair was occupied by Alderman S. N. Jones, Newport. Mr John Owen. of Chester, Moderator oi the North Wales Association, who had been invited to address the conference, gave an outline of a scheme draiwn up by a North Wales Committee for the improvement of the order and maintenance of the ministry. They wanted the minister to understand that he was responsible for the whole of the teach- ing work of thechurch, not merely in the pulpit, but in the Sunday School, the Band of Hope. and the Young People's Guild. in South Wales there were 223 piaistoral charges without ministers, and the number in North Wales was over 200. This was a serious de- fect in their work, and ought to be remedied. They wanted a more stationary ministry, and the arrangement of a pastor being in his church only one Sunday a month ought to be abolished. Mr Owen gave figures to show that the collections towards the ministry had gone up from LSO,000 in 1900 to £ 140,404 in 1917, or an average for the denomination of 12s 6d p" head. They had a large debt, which !'Dr North and South Wales was not far short of £ 550,000. In South Wales the debt was £ 364,000. or an average of t4 2s 6d per mem- ber. The Committee had decided to reeonvmond that the following remuneration be secured to every minister in pastoral charge:-Un- married, a minimum of £150 per annum, in. I eluding all his Sundays; married. Elgo pei annum, including all his Sundays, with house rent of L20 in the country, and L30 in towns, with an allowance of £6 per child per annum up to ten years of age, and L12 for children from ten to sixteen. Mr D. C. Roberts, Aberystwyth. moved the following resolution:—"That while acknow- ledging the contributions so loyally given by the churches to the various connexional funds whose object is to aid the weaker churches, and while appreciatign the general increase in the stipends of ministers, we feel that the average income of ministers is still quite ina- dequate, in view of (1) the prevailing econo- mic conditions (2) the dearth of candidates for the ministry, we are of opinion that it has become imperative to make more effective pro- vision for the maintenance of the ministry than has been attempted hitherto, and we re- commend the South Wales Association to consider the advisability of establishing a central fund tbait shall secure the adequate support of the ministry." Mr Timothy Davies, London, thought they should aim at raising a fund of L250,000, and in his opinion the connexion would have to do this if they were going to keep their young ministers. Mr Daniel Davies, of Aberystwyth, urged the establishment of a minimum of at least JE200 a year for their ministers. The resolution was also supported bv Mr T. Hughes, Ebbw Vale', and Mr Dd. Evans, Blackwood, and; was afterwards carried unani- mously.
-----_---------Llanelly Bill…
Llanelly Bill -1 Hung Up." At a special meeting of the Llanelly Boro Council, the Mayor presiding, the Town OLerk (Mr H. W. Spowart) presented his report on the proceedings before the Examiner of the Standing Orders Commift.tee, House of Com- mons. on the Llanelly Bill's non-compliance with Standing Orders. He said that the Com- mittee had decided not to dispense with the Standing Orders, an with regard to the Bill they were therefore more or less hung up. The Lord; Chancellor, however, would give facilities to deposit late Bills if the cshemes would find employment for a large number of people. As the Llanelly Bill came within this category, the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Commons had dleoided to grant leave for that purpose. Alderman Nathan Griffiths said that same- one had blundered badly over this business,' and the ratepayers had to pay the cost. He proposed that the Council should proceed with the waterworks part of the Bill and to drop the extension of the borough bounnaries The Mayos suggested that the Corporation should consult manufacturers upon the neces- sity of a, larger storage of water. Councillor Jennings moved that the Cor- poration should not proceed with any portion of the Bill for the present session, and Coun. D. R. Jones seconded. The Chairman of the Pariamentary Com- mittee. Alderman D. James Davies, replied to the criticism. He eaii the case was un- answerable for for immediate action for in- creasing the water storage, and they should proceed with the etension of ..th borough boundaries through inquiry by the Local Government Board. The matter was adjourned until Friday, when the manufacturers of the town will be invited to be presents

.----.-BY THE WAY.
BY THE WAY. The "jazz" is not popular at Carmarthen. ##* The Belgian colony at Carmarthen leave on 1-1 Monday by the "Guilford Castle" from Til- bury for Antwerp. The election of lady deacons is being con- sidered at one of the English Nonoconformist Churches in Carmarthen. *#* Cannibalism appears to. be spreading in South Wales. A Cardiff paper contains an advertisement "Girls wanted for bottling." • The lack of suitable train accommodation is causing emplo-roes at the Burry Port works to leave Carmarthen and to reside at Swansea. *#* There are now three ladies on the Carmar- thenshire County Council—Lady Stafford Howard, Miss Trubshaw, Llanelly, and Miss Davies, Eroodivale. Carmarthen is attaining fame. The Lon- don "Diaiilv News" says "The 2d new laid egg has already made its appearance at Reading and Carmarthen." Heard at Carmarthen matrket on Saturday "When will eggs sell at od each again?' "When you see sovereigns floating down the lowy on grindstones." ••• One of the food sensations of the week has been the 8d margarine. It is believed that it will be back at the old familiar "'tanner" before the summer. It is notorious that the price of milk. is being artificially kept up just now. If mitk were "decontrolled" to-day the price, would fall to Is 6d a gallon to-morrow. **# A Carmarthen man who bought 300 eggs ait 3d each last October and preserved them has still 140 on hand. He wants to know if can't claim compensation from anybody! *«• The tradesman who tolda a customer "Clear out of my shop, if you don't like what I've got!" last September now says "If there's anything you dbn't like send it back and I'll change it." «#* The Government will have nothing to do with the potato crop of 1919. Growers will, therefore, be at perfect liberty to sell at any price which they can persuade the public to pay them. *«# The results of several of the County Council contests in Carmarthenshire have been unex- pected and astonishing. They are not due however to any organised effort. There is general desire for change in the air just now. # Tha most up-to-date proposal is that the (J-erman indemnity shaill be applied to the building of working class houses. This is a sound idea, and the whoie subject of housing had better be postponed until the indemnity is paid. 80 per cent. of the demobilised soldiers are in work. THe willingness of the soldier to work is a painful contrast to the attitude of the ex-munitioners who have in so many cases made up their minds to loaf on the ) benefit. ) The Americans haee been greatly annoyed at the account of the m 'itary riot in London which appeared in the British press. Surely the Americans control this country sufficiently already without running the Press Censor- ship as well. # It, is a curious fact that whilst there are so manyunemployeÙl in this country special measures have to be taken to prevent foreign "jo.b,sn,-ttche,rs" from getting into good posi- tions. Some employers have a great han- kering after foreigners. j **# A question which is coming to the fore is the right of the wives of "missing" men to re-marrr. If death is presumed, the woman can't be prosecuted for bigamy. But if the missing man turns up afterwards, the second marriage is void. **# It is stated that there probably will not be a "flat rate" for mik in the summer. There never was a fl a tel rate for milk. A flat rate is a rate based on an average and is too high in some cases, and too low in others. The present milk rates are too high everywhere. • *• It would be interesting if somebody con- nected with the Restriction of Aliens would explain what particular damage would accrue to the British Empire if an Austrian living at Carmarthen were now allowed to travel five miles in ordter to carry on business as a hawker. # It is quite possible that we may be gett- ing coal for nothing from Germany next. year in payment of the indemnity. This might be opposed by certain vested interests, but would be highly popular with 90 per cent. of the population of this country who are suffering from the fuel shortage. Old King Coal is very unpopular. *#* It is an etraordinary fact that at every colliery enquiry, the subject of "pit-head hatha" comes up, and that when it comes to the point the colliers are rather hostile to it. One colliery owner who was very active in the matter some years ago was ridiculed and was told that it was a fad of his own because he did not want to see black-faced colliers passing his mansion! **# It is stated that in Swansea not a single Jew has had influenza.. The Jews don't eat bacon, and they don't eat frozen meat- A Jew might eat frozen meat if it were killed in accordance with kosher" principles; but there is no "kosher" meat amongst the frozen supply. Hence the Jew has been exempt firom eating 131 lot of the stuff which was palmed off on the unfortunate Christians. Somebody is going round the town telling ai certain class of people that they are going to get, eight-roomed houses at 5s a week. This is a fair specimen of the pitch to which sheer "sponging" has risen. A hundred I houses are to be built and let under cost price and the other 1,600 househo'ders in Carmar- then are to pay their own rents and also to be rajted and taxed to pay two-thirds of the rent of houses for the happy hundred! ««• It remains to be seen whether the new County Council will be anxious to face its re- sponsi-bilites. For the last three years, the Carmarthenshire County Council has been practically moribund. The Education Com- mittee, for instance, only meets once a. quar- ter-which means that all control by the Committee over the bulk of the business has become a mere matter of form. And t'he same paralysis has crept into every department. Now that. the war is over, a g-reat outbreak of energy is possible. The defence of the colliers at the Com- mission is not very comforting to the general public. It is in effect that, they saw that the Government and the coal-owners were putting their heads together to fleece the public, and that, the collier thought he might as well have a share of the plunder! The plain man who can't grasp complicated accounts only knows that the colliiers are getting double wages, the coal-owners treble profits, and the Government huge taxation out of the ciaal-wb,i,lgt the poor householder has to pay the lot.

I MEN FOR WHOM PERIL IS NOT…
MEN FOR WHOM PERIL IS NOT PAST. In all the i-ojoicings for perils which are past far our men who have won Victory, we must not forget that there are still perils for the iseamen who keep watch around our Empire and man the merchant ships.Before the dangers of the submarine and mines menaced our fleets, the sea held its own perils, land long after it has been swept of submarines and mines, food and supplies wiH stilll come and go at a cost, of men's lives. Storms and shipwrecks, collisions and acci- dents on board will all-ways take their toll. Night vigils must be kept; winter seas will be as rough and winter winds fiB cold. The 'best way in which we can express our gratitude to these splendid fellows is by pro- viding them with continued comfort, and this is what the British and Foreign Sailors' Society has been doing for over 100 years. This Society is at work in London and in all the principal seaiports of the British Isles and the Dominions and in many foreign ports visited by British ships. A Sailors' Rest is established in each port to which seamen can go and find all the comforts and welcomes of home. Seamen who are ill receive medical attendance; shipwrecked seamen are cared for and provided with necessary money and clothes. Supplies of warm clothing, books, games, etc., are sent to the men aflcat and in many other ways the Society acts as the Sailors' friend. In addition, the Society provides for a number of widows and other dependents of sailors who have been killed cn active service, or incapacitated from following their calling. The Society also provides for the establish- ment and encouragement of Seai Scout Troops wherever there are facilities for training, and assists in the provision «f the necesssary equipment so that the Troops shall not lack the essential material for successful training. The Society recognises its responsibilities to- wards all the Sea Scouts in its Troops, and assists them in in the most suitable manner to get to sea according to, their varying capa- bility's and industry. This is work which should appeal to every section of the community, and as the Society is most urgently in need of funds, in order to carry on its world-wide and most necessary activities for the benefit of our sailors throughout the world, it is earnestly hoped that all who can possibly afford to send a sub- scription, will do so. Gifts (however small) should be sent tio, the Hon. Treasurer. Sir Frederick Green, K.B.E., Wakefield House, Cheapside, London, E.C.2.

.Kidwelly Notes.
Kidwelly Notes. The election of a member to represent the Borough on the County Council passed off without any untoward incident on Saturday last. During the preceding week several meetings were held, the supporters of the Labour candidate, Mr W. L. Williams, dis*- playing the greater activity in this respect. The speakers for the most part were imported a,nd included Dr J. H. Williams, the County Councillor for the adjoining parish of Pem- brey. The only public meeting in support of the candidoture of Mr Alfred Stephens, J.P., Broomhill, the retiring member, was that held at the Castle School on the eve of | the poll, when Mr W. D. Janiesi, Barbican, occupied the chair. Speeches were delivered by the candidate, Mr Daniel Merdedith, Mr H. E. Smart, Mr John Harris, Castle! Farm, and others, and a vote o confidence in Mr Stiepliens was carried with unanimity. Polling day, Saturday the 8th inst., was an ideal day from the weather point of view, and of 1,239 electors 853 exercised their privi- lege o.f voting. The supporters on each side were busy whipping up voters, and invalu- abble assistance was rendered Mr Stephens by the numerouse, horse and motor vehicles used to convey distant voters to the; poll. For the first time in history it was found necessary to have two booths iit, the Town Hall, No 1 being in the Reading Room and No. 2 in the Billiard Room. Mr R. J. Mogford, Nar- berth, presided at, the former, and Mr John Morgan. Maetsgwwenllian, at the latter. The women voters, whose enfranchisement has more than doubled the loca.1 register, made a, brave show, and it is to their oredit that they exercised their long fought-for privilege with quite as much ability as the seasoned voters of the stern sex. Of the 853 votes cast only two were spoilt, and who can say that they were women's votes? The result was made known about 9 p.m.. the returning officer, Mr John Morgan (the Mayor) declaring as follows:— Mr Alfred' Stephens (C. 574 Mr W. L. Williams (Lab.) 277 Majority 297 I Thp figures were received with cheers by the large crowd outside the Town Hall, and after Mr Stephens hadthanked the electors for returning him with such a magnificent majority he was hoisted on the shoulders of his stalwart supporters, and carried up to Brooomhill, the procession being headed by about a dozen torch-bearers. Great enthuc sitasm was shown, and the victory was cele- brated in right royal style. In the counting chamber, Mr Stephens proposed a vote of thanks to the officials for their efficient services, and congratulated his opponent, on the clean fight he had made. No election had ever been fought in Kidwelly in better spirit (hear, hear). Mr Williams, in seconding, remarked that he was proud that he bad carried on the con- test in as straightforward and clean manner as possible He had been defeated this time. but he would go on aga,in (hear, hear). The vote having been carried, Mr R. J. Mogford made a brief response, and the pro- ceedings were over.
